Sareah, a city on the Northeastern side of a principality with a strong tie to the Holy Empire, was big and yet calm.
Compared to its size, there weren't as many citizens as in other cities. It was known as a pension town, where people went over to enjoy their retirement while looking over the nice scenery of a snowy mountain range beyond the large, glistening lake.
A perfect place to do things in secrecy.
In this place, where people minded their own business, a lavish carriage with the crest of a kingdom far in the South was seen parked in front of a guest mansion's house. The man who alighted from the carriage was a tall, bored-looking man with sand-colored hair. If the Hero saw the man, he would know who that was immediately. Perhaps Valen, too.
After all, it was the magician who caused the massive explosion in the previous war. The one causing Valmeier's body to be in a wreck.
